More things with wings

It's time for my 2nd DT post for Country View Challenges. For July the theme for our challenge, which I am hosting, is "Things with Wings". I gave you lots of ideas for projects in my last post here.

Here are a few more summer photos to spark off some inspiration.
Lots of inspiration from Mother Nature....

We were visited most mornings on holiday by a peahen and her chicks

and in the local park at the little cafe there were free ranging friendly fowl too

However I went to the fantasy world of fairies for my 2nd project. First I chose some bright summery DI colours.

I blended a base and then added some more inks through my floral stencil.

I used some Tim stamps

and then I added some more floral elements in brown using Lavinia stamps.

and here is my finished card, an anniversary card for selling in Dotty's.

I added even more things with wings with my little birdie die cuts. I also used a LOTV sentiment and die cut a gold plaque for it.

Remember that you can enter our challenge as many times as you like and combine with any other challenges. You many even be the lucky random winner of the £20 CVC voucher.
All the details can be find via this link.

Love the fab, summery background on this pretty fairy card, Jane! I really like those colours together - will have to go and have a root in my ink box now! Hope you're enjoying this wonderful summer weather...and Wimbledon! Hugs, Lisa x

Welcome to Jane's Journal. Having worked for the NHS as a physiotherapist for 34 years I now follow a crafting life selling my handmade cards in Dotty's, a local vintage tea room. My passions are as a papercrafter, silversmith, jewellery maker, and occasional cake decorator. I am a Design Team Member for Country View Crafts, Visible Image and STAMPlorations. I enjoy occasional Guest Designing for other stamp companies/card challenges. My work has been published and appeared on TV. I am also a keen photographer and gardener.
I am the wife of a very dear husband and have 2 wonderful grown up children (but always my babies to me). Our lives have been blessed by the arrival of our 2 darling grandchildren; Daisy Jane, in 2013 and Jack in 2017. We also have a very special cat called Billy who shares our home.
My blog is written to share my hobbies, crafts and gardening and to create a journal I can look back on. Thanks for visiting me here and watching my creative journey.
Please don't be shy - do leave a comment and say hello, it's great to realise that I'm not rambling to myself but even if you don't wish to just pull up a chair, make yourself comfy and have a read.
